Live and learn, and then get Luvs

Ohio State, the nation's top ranked team, looks to continue its 26 consecutive regular season wins against the team that last beat them, Penn State.

Penn State comes into this game ranked 24th. Penn State has been an all-or-nothing team this year. They have looked impressive against Iowa and Wisconsin, but looked horrible against Michigan and Illinois. Winning the Big Ten seems out of their reach, but a major bowl is still possible if they continue winning.

Keys to the Game

In Penn State's two losses, they have given up almost 200 yards rushing. If the Buckeyes wish to take this game over, the combination of Chris Wells, Maurice Wells and Brandon Saine must be effective. Look for Boeckman to hand the ball off early and often.

Anthony Morelli will be a big target on Ohio State's defense. Morelli has been highly inconsistent this year and has hurt Penn State's offense with turnovers. Ohio State's pass rush should attack Morelli on every down and force him into sticky situations.

Stat of the Week

4: That's the number of total touchdowns opposing offenses have against the Buckeyes defense.

Prediction

Ohio State wins 24-10 in a rough game marred with turnovers.
